SoundCloud to limit tracks streamed via API to 15,000 plays per day

SoundCloud will soon introduce streaming limits outside of its network. Starting July 1, any track hosted on the service will be limited to 15,000 streams in a 24 hour period.

The limitation won’t affect tracks played directly on Soundcloud — only those played via a third-party app. To enforce the new playback rule, SoundCloud is instituting a 15,000 play request limit on their API.
